Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 378 Draining the Fire Crystal

"How is this possible? How could a super-level mage be this powerful?"

Far away, the staff officer stared blankly at the pitch-black curtain that covered the sky and the earth. Although it only existed for a few seconds, the terrifying aura it carried made her feel as if her heart was being gripped.

Under the cover of darkness, the other side of the earth was forcibly subsided by tens of meters, spanning a distance of several kilometers. No matter how you look at it, such a powerful force could not possibly be a scene created by a super-level mage using magic.

What she saw and heard tonight completely shattered her understanding; there was no Star Palace's super-level magic, which could be cast instantly with a wave of the hand.

This is beyond the description of genius; even calling it a prodigy would be inadequate.

"No wonder he received special attention from that Chinese military leader, who even went so far as to mention that the military was providing quotas for forbidden spells."

"No wonder Shi Qianshou couldn't even put up a fight; he was taken down with just a glance."

Consultant Shao finally realized the limitations of her perspective. Her approach was based on speculation within the rules of magic, while the other party's magic transcended those rules and could not be understood by her.

Thinking of this, she immediately turned and left. She had seen everything she needed to see, and she could go back and submit her report ahead of time.

Chanting...

After seeing the target completely blasted away, Yan Ji quickly teleported to Wang Teng's side and excitedly pounced on him.

"Alright, alright... Great job!" Wang Teng comforted her, not holding back his praise. This good daughter's fighting talent was by no means low.

He could already foresee that the Blazing Flame Lance would become her signature skill in the future, unleashing devastating explosions everywhere...

Elements of violent destruction like this don't really need complex forms; all they need is extreme compression followed by a sudden burst of power—that's their maximum potential.

In this way, Wang Teng immediately thought of his lightning element, and a flash of inspiration struck him, leading him to quickly think of the development direction of super-burning power.

After the comforting conversation, Yan Ji seemed to prefer her elf form, quickly shrinking back to the size of a palm, transforming into her miniature Yan Ji form, and sitting on Wang Teng's shoulder, swinging her toes.

After clearing his mind, he quickly turned back to the broken black rock volcano, which had been cut into several pieces and had completely lost its ability to gather energy.

"What a pity..." Wang Teng felt it was a waste to see this scene. If the structure hadn't been damaged, he could have come here every now and then to let Xiao Yanji enjoy herself.

He then examined several exposed fire crystals and discovered that some of the internal flame energy had been extracted, significantly reducing their value.

"My dear daughter, why don't you extract all the fire crystal energy from inside this volcano? I'm a little too lazy to dig it up." Wang Teng turned to her and said.

Yin~

Little Flame Princess agreed and quickly transformed into a beam of red light, rushing into the crack. Then, she raised her hand and began to extract the last remaining energy.

These residual energies are all from inside the fire crystals. There are a huge number of fire crystals, and even after careful extraction, there is still a lot left.

Improving her strength is impossible, but the quality of her Calamity Flame can be enhanced. According to the classification of elemental species, the Calamity Flame is at the level of a 10-fold fire-type celestial species, which is second only to the 12-fold limit celestial species.

Its power is far greater than that of the Soul Seed era; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to severely injure the Dust Demon Leader, who was in a temporary Supreme Monarch state.

There is still a lot of room for improvement in the Blazing Flame. She can also gradually comprehend the Blazing Flame's Heavenly Seed Forbidden Realm ability by improving the Blazing Flame.

Only then will her fire-based combat power reach its peak. Every type of fire has its own characteristics, but in the end, they are all generally similar, and her Calamity Flame is more inclined towards large-scale destruction.

These were all messages Wang Teng secretly transmitted to her, telling her the way forward. After the battle with the leader of the Dust Demons, it was indeed true.

As a darling of the fire element, she can easily condense flames, and the Calamity Flame is her most familiar natal flame.

As she continued to absorb the pure, scorching flame energy from the fire crystal, Yan Ji quickly condensed all the energy into her natal Calamity Flame.

The same level of fire will have completely different effects when placed on a mage and when placed on a fire elemental pet, with a huge difference in power.

Wang Teng sat quietly in the void, watching Yan Ji diligently condense the Calamity Flame, and the aura around her even showed a faint upward trend.

Two and a half hours passed before Yan Ji finally extracted all the fire crystal energy from inside the massive mountain.

The calamity flames on her body seemed to have intensified by two levels, reaching their ultimate quality.

Wang Teng himself had come into contact with the Great Celestial Seed at its maximum 12 times, and the Calamity Flame on Yan Ji's body was no less powerful. The only thing she might lack was the Forbidden Realm ability.

After completing the mission, Little Flame Princess flew back and landed on Wang Teng's shoulder, seemingly in a good mood.

Wang Teng immediately teleported her away from the devastated battlefield and back to Anjiao Town.

In the dead of night, Anjiao Town was brightly lit, especially inside the military camp, where many people were on guard and patrolling, but they all looked quite excited.

Wang Teng quickly located Ding Yumin and Jiang Shaoxu. The two were sitting in Staff Officer Shao's office drinking coffee, glancing outside every now and then.

"Hey~ You're back!" Ding Yumin spotted him with her sharp eyes, immediately got up and ran out to hug his arm.

The little Flame Princess, perched on Wang Teng's shoulder, flew back to her nest, which was located inside Ding Yumin's fire-type star river.

The battle tonight has exhausted her; she needs a good night's sleep.

Ding Yumin had been in contact with Xiao Yanji all along, and immediately sensed the tremendous changes and gains Xiao Yanji had made, which shocked her.

Unexpectedly, before she even reached the level of a super-class mage, Little Flame Princess had already reached the peak of the monarch level ahead of her.

"You're back..." Jiang Shaoxu said simply, but her eyes were filled with genuine concern.

"Hmm~" Wang Teng stroked her hair, then led the two of them into Staff Officer Shao's office.

"Councilor Wang Teng, thank you for your hard work!" Staff Officer Shao did not presume to be arrogant. He stood up and gave a proper military salute, then took the initiative to reach out and shake Wang Teng's hand.

"It is with great regret that, as the highest-ranking military commander of the Anjiao Town garrison, I was unable to assist you; this is my dereliction of duty!"

Wang Teng smiled gently and said, "I have received Staff Officer Shao's kind intentions."

"It's nothing. After all, everyone has a different role, and it's impossible to expect everyone to be the same."

"If I were asked to take over the position of advisor, I definitely couldn't do it~ hahaha..."

As he continued, Wang Teng chuckled softly, as if making a joke; these were indeed his true feelings.

As a commander, Staff Officer Shao is undoubtedly very qualified and excellent; otherwise, he would not have been able to become the highest-ranking commander of the garrison at Anjiao Town, a place rich in resources.

"Thank you so much for your understanding..." Advisor Shao breathed a sigh of relief and replied. Only now did she realize that getting along with the other person was much easier than she had thought.

She even saw an invisible leadership charisma in him, and subconsciously compared him to Hua Junshou.
